Precious Mary,
Happy Mother's Day. I hope you like the flowers.
I bought them to celebrate all the wonderful, strong, and courageous women on our lineage who are no longer here physically.
Miss you so much. Mother's Day is hard because physically you are gone. I do have all the great, and fantastic memories. You did a fantastic job on your boys, and Lil' Momma is a spitting image of you. You are one of the fabulous women in our lineage. Men too, however this is Mommy's Day. Lol!
Everyday I pray I still make you proud.
Enjoy your day Mary. I will be thinking about you, and all the beautiful women in this lineage who are no longer among us, but are in Heaven looking over us. We do need it . Some of us can use a real kick in the butt too. I know all of you are shaking your head in agreement. Lol!
I miss watching you eat those rubber, blackened eggs, burnt bacon, and burnt toast. I worry about you girl. Lol!!
Love you tons! ♥♥♥

The drink of champions!! Loll!!

Hey Mary,
Remember this certain item? It was the drink of champions! Poppa Ronny, and you were always in constant motion making Kool aid.
It was the go to drink at Grandma Stella's too. I cannot help but break out in a big grin looking at the Kool aid packets.
They are more than a drink to me. It represents some very good times that money cannot buy. I already put in my order to your Grandma Stella that when I get to Heaven, to have some Kool aid, and hot dogs on sliced bread. Remember how Grandma Stella use to be heavy handed on the Miracle Whip, mustard, and ketchup? Well, I kinda told her I wouldn't complain. So you been warned Sister!
Missing you terribly, and always will. You are a far bigger blessing than you will ever know. Then again,you probably do. I am sure you are up on all the latest.
Love you tons!!!

Baby Girl,
Today will be one year since you left. I feel your beautiful spirit ever so often, however I still wish that in many ways that you were still among us.
I know God is over the moon to have you around. You are pure sunshine. The world seems a bit dimmer without you. Your awesome presence was everywhere. You definitely left a mark, an impression. I cannot help but fight back some tears. God has his reasons on bringing you home, HOWEVER it doesn't make the process of dealing with it more simpler, or easier.
I deal with jerks, backstabber, and simply unhappy people way more than I care to. Ample supply here. The blessing is that God removed all that for you, Grandma Stella, and our other loved ones. World has enough challenges without the extra.
Mary Elizabeth, I think of you all the time. God blessed me the day you came in my life. When my heart was broken by your passing, more light poured in. Thank you kiddo. You always made sure I knew I mattered.
Keep checking on me from time to time. I can use it. Love you tons!!!!
Love always,
Aunt Leisa

Baby Girl,
In a few more days will be your birthday. Wow! You are not even here in person to celebrate. I am thinking about your precious babies. They were your world, and you theirs. We al feel robbed Baby Girl, just robbed.
Your smile, your laugh, and even your infamous rubber eggs. I won't have you around in person fussing with me when we become old ladies. Making jokes about each other's teeth(or lack of), Mr. Arthur, and those dang old lady stockings! I actually relished those ideas because it would be hilarious with you right there in the middle of the action. Knowing you, you probably be as beautiful and youthful as ever. Me? 50-50 chance Baby Girl,. They say black don't crack, however half of me is indeed crackable! Lol!
See? I need you here. You would laugh at that dreadful joke, and egg me on, and then plead innocence. YES YOU! You always played the straight gal so much easier than me. Perhaps there will be a M c Donald's in Heaven. That way, we could sneak and indulge till our hearts desire! The possibilities! I know I probably be in permanent time out with God, however, I know you will plead my case. Until, the next time I get sent again into another timeout.
Bottom line, life became grand when you walked into my life. Oh yes indeedy! You got to your mission quickly in terms of serving God. Despite whatever happened, you called out to God knowing he always had your back.
If more people, had your faith the world would be such a different place. It has become a comfort to me on how strong your faith is truly is. I am and always will be so proud of you. Keep watching out for me. It is comforting to know when you are near.
Love you forever, and a day,
Auntie

Precious Baby Girl,
I was listening to this video. It made me think about you, and devoted, and strong your faith is in our Heavenly Father.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e04VphoBJAg
You are so sorely missed. I play this game that is quite stupid when I think about it. I figure if I avoid looking at this page, then somehow you are gone. It is my coping mechanism because it just felt you were snatched from us way too early.
I look at my phone, and text messages from you. It is a real comfort, and it reminds me that while you are not in body, but you are still around in spirit.
I love you Kiddo. We were suppose to get old together, and you were going to give me a hard time because I would get social security before you. I reflect on how you would rib me so many times. I miss those times kiddo. I miss giving you a hard time for your well loved blackened rubber eggs, and crispy burnt toast. Lol!
Check on me from time to time . I need it. Hard to put into words what my heart feels when I come to this page. Love you lots.

Hey Pretty girl,
My deepest apologies that I not posted so long. So much been going on after you passed. Several more family homegoings right behind back to back. Especially after mom passed, two cousins, my dad, my aunt (his sister), my last aunt (mom sister), and a dear friend. Lot of loss in past 8 months.
I think of you often and miss our late night talks. However, the pain and worries you suffered are no more. You are an angel in His glory and resting peacefully in your heavenly home. We will see each other again.
R.I.H.P
Much love, Aunt Katt & Cousin Nikki

Mary,
It has been a while since I have been here. I had this stupid idea that if I avoided this page, then I can pretend that you are still here.
Baby Girl, you too took a piece of my heart when you left. Time marches on and waits for no one. It is hard when one of your buddies is not just a call away. I play back in my mind some of the memories when we were kids. Funny how time gets away ever so quickly.
I felt you last week, and it was all I could not to break down and cry. I finally broke this morning. Oh yes I did. Only thing I feel is the pain. I do not feel any healing, not even close.
It is not your job to heal me now, however it is like looking up in the sky on a dark night, and looking at the stars. All of a sudden with a snap of the fingers, one of the most, and biggest starts just burns out without warning.
That is what it feels like Baby Girl. At times, I look up in the sky at night with a deep wish, that one day, I will see you sitting on one, smiling and waving at me. I am never going to stop looking for that Mary Elizabeth. Never.
A friend who passed away a few years ago told me something very valuable. When you have a broken heart, it is a blessing. It means God's light can shine even brighter. I must be a lighthouse then. All of you that have passed on in these past few years have shattered my heart to pieces. It hurts to breath. My heart is scattered all over God's floor and I just cannot bring myself to pick up the pieces.
I miss you and love you dearly. It is awfully hard to walk on the road of life and knowing that you are more than a phone call away.
Love always,
Aunt Leisa
